Let's take a look.įirst, in order for the syncing via iCloud to work, the syncing service for Notes needs to be enabled on the Mac and iDevices. All of a sudden I find the Notes ecosystem to be simple, yet immensely useful. The Notes app has now done a one-eighty with the introduction of Mountain Lion, iOS 6 and iCloud. However, since there was no Notes app available on the Mac, synced notes ended up in the Mail app. Yes, there was primitive syncing available. Yes, I could keep 'local' notations on my iPhone or iPad if I wanted to. To me, prior to Mountain Lion, iOS 6 and iCloud integration, the Notes app was useless. It's a skeuomorphic yellow legal pad for taking notes. This isn't the word processor you're looking for. The Mac version is now available for Mountain Lion, and it's fully iCloud-compliant. It's been around since day-one in the life of iOS.
